Give the collection a clear point of view

An institution wordmark, architectural detail or authorised artwork can connect merchandise to a visitor’s experience. Choose a small group of pieces that work together, and distinguish permanent shop stock from limited exhibition merchandise.

Plan retail stock around the exhibition calendar

Separate shop inventory, staff garments and donor gifts in your enquiry. Share opening dates and the earlier date products are needed for display or distribution. Review sales by product and size before expanding the range or placing a repeat order.

Planning guide

Treat artwork approvals as part of the schedule

Confirm reproduction permission for artworks, photographs, artist names and collection imagery. Supply authorised files and any required attribution or colour guidelines. Review crops, credits and placements on each product before approving production.

What to include in your enquiry

  1. Identify the institution collection or exhibition the range supports.
  2. List retail, staff and gift quantities by product, colour and size.
  3. Provide authorised artwork, required credits and brand guidelines.
  4. Share exhibition opening and stock delivery dates.
  5. Assign one final approver for the quote, artwork and product details.

Minimums, setup costs, pricing and production timing depend on the selected products and decoration. Review the complete quote and artwork proof before approving your order.

Your questions, answered

Can we reproduce artwork from an exhibition?

Confirm the necessary merchandise rights first, then provide authorised artwork and any attribution or approval requirements.

Can one design work across totes and clothing?

It can be reviewed for each product. Scale, crop, contrast and decoration area may need to change.

How should we plan a first collection?

Start with a focused product and colour range. Use your visitor profile, available shop space and actual sales to guide quantities and reorders.

Beyond apparel

Extend the collection beyond clothing

Explore notebooks, mugs, pens and other promotional products for museum shops, gallery openings and member gifts. Match the item to the exhibition or institution and include catalogue references and quantities in your enquiry.

Promotional products have item-specific minimums, decoration options and lead times. Share your required in-hand date so the selected items can be reviewed.
